His involvement was hands on and significant. In person lobbying, actual help crafting the legislation, etc.
Does that alone qualify him to be potus? Probably not, which is the point he is making in the video. Does it make him far more qualified than Trump? Absolutely. But the point of my comment was in response to yours…
What kind of preparation would Jon Stewart have to be a good President of the USA? other than being famous?
…and to illustrate that he does indeed have hands on knowledge and experience in the legislative negotiations and crafting, which most other celebrities do not have.
I don’t understand your replies. In the video Jon addresses the impulse people have to want folk like him, Colbert, and Kimmel to run for office. He insinuates his disagreement but understands the sentiment. In other words, exactly your point.
On the other hand, you keep arguing the point of Jon as POTUS in this comment thread when the only point being made was that, unlike most celebrities, Jon has knowledge and experience in the legislative process. You stated that he had no other qualification other than fame. I corrected that misconception. Nothing more.

I get that, for the overall post. I was just noting that this specific comment thread was in response to your comment about his qualifications and experience. Nothing more. It later got filled with other trains of conversation, but my response to you was specific to that one subject, not whether or not celebrities in general should be public servants.

yes but why choose a celebrity that knows politics when you could have someone with a full education and career (or at least you could wish for one)
